Enoshita Castle, Feudal castle ruins in Midori Ward, Japan.

Enoshita Castle consists of ruins from the Muromachi period with preserved defensive structures including elevated earthen walls and dual moats around a central compound. The layout reveals the typical organization of a Japanese castle designed for both military defense and administrative control.

The fortress was built during the Muromachi period as a military outpost to control trade routes through Owari Province. Its construction reflects military architecture practices that developed in this region during the medieval era.

A small shrine sits within the castle's inner courtyard, showing how spiritual spaces were woven into military strongholds across medieval Japan. Walking through the grounds, you see how these two elements shared the same enclosed space.

The site is accessible through maintained walking paths that offer clear views of the fortification structures. Plan time to explore the different levels and earthworks throughout the grounds to fully understand the layout.

The remains include original stone foundations that show an early approach to Japanese castle building before stone construction became standard. These foundations reveal how military architecture evolved during the period.
